>>1325420"I’ll give you a tldr if the video. Guy wants to hike Mt.whitney.
Doesn’t check trail conditions like he was supposed to before the hike.
Goes to the portal gets told ice is built up on the switchbacks. Guy doesn’t have an ice axe or crampons. Rangers tell him where to buy the gear.. doesn’t heed advice hikes anyway.
Has to go back 2 miles before the summit because trail conditions were bad like HE WAS TOLD.
End of video explains his exit hike." - someone who saw it
